Chapter 431: Chaos Heavenly Abyss, Lord of the Heart Abyss

Since the Primordial Realm lay in the opposite direction of the Main Universe, Lin Qing first returned to his home in the Main Universe.

“Next…”

Lin Qing silently pondered, “First, refine this pillar-level cosmic relic embryo forged by the Future Realm God into a true pillar-level relic by transforming three universes, then establish a divine realm…”

During this time, he needed to study the secret techniques inherited from the God of the Heart Universe.

Even if he couldn’t master it now, he must fully understand it first—so when the time comes, he can directly draw upon it in advance.

This terrifying technique was extraordinarily complex to cultivate; merely entering its threshold required a priceless “Chaos Cosmic Spirit,” a treasure even the Realm God’s treasury lacked, and the resource demands afterward were absurdly extreme.

Moreover, only an internal universe grounded in the Chaos Ultimate Rule could cultivate this terrifying technique.

But once he broke through, the Realm God Ancestors would come for him.

That meant—he had no time to slowly cultivate this technique.

So he only intended to draw upon it in advance.

When the time came, he would simply obtain the cultivation results directly, achieving it in one stroke, thereby avoiding this flaw.

“Hmm, after finishing my contemplation, I’ll head to the Primordial Realm…”

…

The secret technique inherited from the God of the Heart Universe was called “Chaos Heavenly Abyss,” centered on the Chaos Ultimate Rule, using one’s true internal universe to create a second layer of existence—a boundless abyss.

Theoretically, its power was unimaginably immense, yet its difficulty was astonishingly extreme.

Nearly thirty-eight million years had passed, and Lin Qing still hadn’t fully unraveled it; even after breaking through, he had no confidence of entering its threshold.

He had always planned to master it first, then descend to the Future Realm to break through in the Primordial Realm.

After all, according to what he knew, even a High Realm God Lord carrying a pillar-level cosmic relic faced insurmountable obstacles entering the Primordial Realm.

Aside from the unique nature of the Chaos Ultimate Rule, he also wanted to strengthen his power as much as possible.

Unfortunately, he had never succeeded—couldn’t even enter the threshold, let alone draw upon it in advance.

Over these thirty-eight million years, he had frequently entered time-accelerated states, accumulating dozens of billions of years of actual cultivation time, yet the “Chaos Heavenly Abyss” technique still felt just slightly out of reach.

Lin Qing wasn’t in a hurry; as long as he didn’t reveal the Chaos Ultimate Rule, the Realm God Ancestors wouldn’t see him as a threat.

He had all the time in the world to contemplate slowly.

…

“Has the Chaos Battlefield formed? Have Master and Senior Brother also gone there?”

On this day, after emerging from the Time Hall once again, Lin Qing learned this news.

Approximately sixteen thousand years ago, the Chaos Battlefield formed from the collision between Xingyuan and the Cosmic Tree, yet the battle remained as fiercely deadlocked as ever, with the Void God Clan and the Xingyuan Demon Clan still locked in an unyielding struggle.

Previously, the Void God Clan had held a slight advantage, for the Shijing Lord was still alive then.

But now, without the Shijing Lord—the peak combatant—the situation had changed. Although the Source Clan’s half-god-level civilization had been destroyed by a Realm God, it was fundamentally different.

Lin Qing could guess—

The destruction of the Source Clan’s half-god-level civilization was likely the price demanded by the Three Realm Gods in exchange for allowing Xingyuan to utterly annihilate Shijing.

Yet the extinct half-god-level civilization of the Source Clan contained no peak combatant like the Shijing Lord; this deal naturally favored the Void God Clan’s loss. Had it not been for the threat posed by Princess Sujing, the Void God Clan would never have agreed.

“Exactly what I need—three universes to forge a pillar-level cosmic relic…”

Lin Qing silently mused, “Going to the Chaos Battlefield is also a legitimate opportunity to forge a pillar-level cosmic relic.”

With his current strength, he had no need to reveal his “Pillar-Level Numinous Relic” as a trump card—he could still secure the past, present, and future three universes.

…

The Chaos Battlefield was a chaos marvel located at the edge of the Main Universe.

The entire battlefield lay at the boundary between the Cosmic Tree and Xingyuan, carving out a small portion of the Main Universe, perpetually absorbing boundless torrents of chaotic energy to form such a marvel.

Hundreds of billions of years had passed since the last opening of the Chaos Battlefield; within it, countless rare treasures beneficial to the Cosmic Tree and Xingyuan had matured, yet they still awaited the battlefield’s evolution to emerge.

The Xingyuan Demon Clan and the Void God Clan fought to claim these emerging treasures.

“Mr. Lin Qing only just entered the battlefield?”

At the Cosmic Tree entrance of the Chaos Battlefield, the guardian deity, Yuanlan Zhen Shen, flapped his three pairs of five-colored wings, staring at Lin Qing in surprise.

“Yes.” Lin Qing gave a slight nod.

“This…” Yuanlan Zhen Shen hesitated, then said, “Mr. Lin Qing, the Chaos Battlefield has been open for sixteen thousand years and has long entered the middle phase of its evolution. The treasures emerging have shifted from ‘numerous but low-quality’ to ‘high-quality but scarce.’ Do you understand?”

Lin Qing nodded slightly. “I know. The treasures emerging now are few, and the competitors are mostly the battlefield’s strongest warriors, correct?”

When the Chaos Battlefield first opened, the emerging treasures were low in quality but extremely numerous; even a typical Ultimate Being with good fortune could acquire many.

The entire battlefield’s evolution lasted only thirty-eight thousand years, and sixteen thousand years had already passed—fully entering the middle phase.

Now, the emerging treasures were of high quality but extremely scarce.

Thus, according to established patterns, only High Realm God Lords could confidently compete for them.

Ordinary Realm God Lords had to rely on sheer luck for a chance at leftovers.

As for ordinary Ultimate Beings?

They had no chance whatsoever.

“Mr. Lin Qing still intends to enter despite knowing this?” Yuanlan Zhen Shen stared at him in disbelief. “Do you have some special method?”

In his view, Lin Qing was merely a dual-rule Ultimate Being, whose strength was even slightly inferior to an ordinary Realm God Lord. Entering the Chaos Battlefield now was far too late.

“Something like that.” Lin Qing gave a slight nod.

“Alright.”

Yuanlan Zhen Shen finally nodded, warning, “But Mr. Lin Qing, be careful. Once you enter the Chaos Battlefield, you must remain until its evolution ends—there is still risk of death.”

“Understood.” Lin Qing nodded calmly.

…

Inside the Chaos Battlefield, roughly three hundred eighty billion light-years in diameter, it was nearly the size of a small universe, its interior fragmented into countless spacetimes, intricately interwoven.

The Void God Clan’s main base lay within one of these spacetimes.

The strongest warriors of the Void God Clan, the Human Clan, and the Mechanical Clan had all gathered here.

To avoid ambushes from the enemy, the main forces of all three clans concentrated within a grand hall formed by a pillar-level cosmic relic.

And the owner of this pillar-level cosmic relic was none other than the Void God Clan’s universally acknowledged strongest Zhen Shen—Yuan Gu Zhen Shen!

“A fine pillar-level cosmic relic…”

Lin Qing studied the pillar-level cosmic relic transformed into a divine hall, “Though not his Numinous Relic, Yuan Gu Zhen Shen’s physical body is far stronger than a High Realm God Lord, even nearing the upper limit of Infinite Chaos—no wonder he can fight Xingyuan’s Xin Yuan Da Jun…”
